NASA postponed space shuttle Endeavour's launch to the International Space Station on Saturday because of a leak associated with the gaseous hydrogen venting system outside the shuttles external fuel tank. The system is used to carry excess hydrogen safely away from the launch pad. Managers scrubbed the launch for at least 96 hours.
The earliest the shuttle could be ready to launch is June 17. However, there is a conflict on the Eastern Range that date with the scheduled launch of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter/Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite.

Endeavour was due to take off from Cape Canaveral with seven astronauts at 0717 local time (1117 GMT), but launch was cancelled several hours beforehand.
The problem was discovered during fuelling, before the astronauts had donned their spacesuits.

Student-made devices will launch with shuttle.
Longhorns and Aggies will be watching the sky on Saturday as the Space Shuttle Endeavour launches with a 7½-pound "picosatellite" built by University of Texas aerospace engineering students, along with a companion satellite built by Texas A&M University students.
BEVO-1 and AggieSat1 are designed to test a GPS satellite receiver that NASA built.
They are the first of a four-part mission over the next eight years, in which students hope to eventually build two satellites that can dock in space without help from humans.
